Esso49 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 At least you were economical with the paint by painting the exterior and interior walls from the same bucket. Other than that it is a nice house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It matters not Slum or Palace new or old , there will always be a piece of that Freakin Blue Pipe lurking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin2014 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Looks like good work, wish you all the best but, best to give it 2-3 years before recommending a company. Time is the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunderhill Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The devil is in the detail, what you can't see, the finishing here is also pretty poor, forgetting to glue pipe joints, non earthed electrics wring sized cables, wrong slope on drains, water added to concrete making it like P*ss,seeing something "finished" shows you none of this. Then there is the staff issues, one team may do a good job but they come and go, the next lot could be awful. That's the reality of any build here. Looking "pwetty" doesn't tell you much at all. One man's "good" is another mans "poor", some peoples idea s of good are very different to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irlguy1 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 The unprotected power plug they installed on the outside of the house looks more like the "thai book"They are earthed, and on a breaker and they have a flap to go over them.Like I said , Western book.Incidentally they are called sockets not plugs [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have some involvement with the company, and are using your post as advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also seen video of the house I just posted so I can attest to the fact that it has a breaker unit and flaps on the sockets.It's amazing how as usual in this forum that friendly helpful advice is leeched on by Trolls.Anyway for the Trolls with no life have fun being cynical and pathetic.To the ones that need a decent builder choose them or not it's up to you [emoji106]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Min 2m is generally considered a good distance although "splash covers" or correct rated outdoor fittings with a spring flap at a better height I would suggest.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yes it looks good but they always use wall-putty and paint until it all looks nice. Those wall outlets at the patio need a cover though, it's dangerous to have this during a storm. Also they should be grounded... And what if you jump in the pool and water splashes all around? Will it flow back into the pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already mentioned above that they were grounded, breakered and have splash covers .I really wish people would read a thread before commenting on it [emoji12][emoji12]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
